A medical examiner’s report last week revealed that the cause of death for Eddie “Umaga” Fatu, who died on Dec. 4, was from a heart attack caused by mixing three drugs.
The official cause of death was “acute toxicity” due to combined effects of Hydrocodone (Vicodin), Carisoprodol (somas) and Diazepam (Valium). All three are commonly used drugs by a number of pro wrestlers.
Fatu, who suffered a series of heart attacks, was 36.
He had been released by WWE several months earlier after failing a drug test and refusing to enter a rehab program. He died shortly after returning from the Australian tour headlined by Hogan and Flair.
